Charles I: Killing a King (Part 1)

A 2019 Documentary series that investigates a momentous event in history, the trial and execution of King Charles I, an act that changed politics and power in England forever. Audio in English with English subtitles.

Part 1: December, 1648.

The Puritan government has banned all celebrations, and King Charles I is imprisoned in Windsor Castle. During Christmastide, the monarch would ordinarily feast and celebrate, but instead, he spends Christmas Day alone, in anticipation of what his future holds as king of England.

Parliament has been purged of all moderate MPs who are willing to compromise with the king. What is left is a contingent of MPs who are ready to remove Charles from power by whatever means possible. They are supported by the New Model Army, a powerful, professional fighting force, led by the religious zealot, powerful orator and talented solider, Oliver Cromwell. They spend Christmas Day urgently debating what to do with their king.
